DECORATION DAY
Tomorrow, Thursday, is Decoration Day. It is the day on which the United States, as a nation, pays reverence to its dead. It is wholly fitting that we should set aside one day of the year in respect for those who have gone from us. But it is not predondomality a day of sorrow; the living should not be encouraged to harbor peignant grief for those dead. It is rather only a time of sweet remembrance of those whom we have lost, dedicated by the simplest of rites. Personal losses merge into the universal in recalling dead war heroes, statemen, and truly great men—not only those who have lived in recent years, but also those who died in centuries past.
And so it is that tomorrow when we place floral offerings on the tombs of the nation's dead, we should be selfless in so far an our own grief is concerned, remembering that it is they who have made the supreme sacrifice. They have given their lives.

DUSK TO DAWN TRAVEL
Western Air Express has announced a dawn to dusk schedule of air service from Kansas City to Lon Angle, the first regular voyage of which will begin next Saturday. Ten 14-passenger Fokker monoplanes have been purchased by the company and arrangements have been made for tie-ups with bus lines for people desiring to go east of Kansas City. Even though still in the age of experimentation, the airplane is assuming practically the same proportions as did railways years ago. Ai travel is gradually becoming more and more commercialized—it is going through almost the same stages as did the "Iron Horse."
The general public at first was afraid of the railroad but gradually it came to accept it. What could be done without it today? The same is more than likely to be true of the airplane. Public fears and suspicions are disappearing every day with increasing rapidly, and probably sooner than we expect, there will be a general demand for air travel. The comparatively low fare estimated by the Western Air Express from Kansas City to Los Angeles foreshadows a rapid development in the use of the plane.
ORATORICAL CONTEST
Yes, Ben Swofford won. It is a highly creditable tribute to Kansas City that one of her native sons should be chosen champion orator of the United States. But Ben is but one of thousands who participated in local, district and regional elimination trials to select the eight prize orators to appear before the justices of the United States Supreme court. These many thousand boys and girls spoke on the Constitution of the United States, giving different slants in praise of its unassailable perfection.
Fhousands of plastic minds bent to
the task of finding laudatory and commendatory phrases to apply to the constitution. Those who won were those who presented the most eloquent eulogy, not the most critical analysis. No contest such as has just been completed, can possibly aid in solving the problems of legal administration. Many of the leading newspapers of the country are co-operating each year in carrying through this competition in blindly building air-circuits. By means of it hundreds of thousands of American citizens are inclined to forget the weaknesses of our government in heartkening to the earnest pleas of young oratory. No needed critical attitude can ever be established in this way. The constitution must be changed with the times, but it will be static so long as the nation's press aids in antiquating our principles of government.

CHILD LABOR IN MISSOURI
A child labor bill has passed both houses in Missouri and is waiting for the governor's approval. It provides for an 8-hour working day for children. It requires that the children seeking employment must have permits from physicians before they are allowed to work. Furthermore, they must have completed the sixth grade in school. However, this does not apply to domestic or agricultural employment, nor does it include newsboys.
This bill sounds all very well, but how much will it be worth to the child labor situation in that state? How many children are put to work in factories and other places of business compared with the large number who are kept out of school at any age to help at home or on the farm? It seems as if the bill has exempted the places wherein most of the children work. Many a child has been deprived of his education because his mother and father work and he has to stay at home and keep house and the children.
Is this fair? As long as there is to be a bill, why not include all forms of labor for children?
WHEAT SURPLUS AND THE
FREIGHT RATE
The move on the part of the railroads to reduce freight rates on export wheat and flour is berated as an emergency farm measure. But there is another reason for the proposed reduction. At present there is a wheat surplus being held by the farmers and elevators throughout the country, and it is only a short while until the new crop will be thrown on the market. Both the present and impending surpluses may be disposed of in three ways: The farmer and elevator owners may refuse to sell their wheat until at some future date when there is a domestic need for it; or, if the price of wheat should go much lower, the farmer may feed a great deal more of it and thus convert it into products which will be consumed locally. In either case there would be comparatively little need for long railroad hubs.
The third way is to sell the wheat surplus abroad. But, since the present price of wheat on the world market is 2% cents out of line with domestic prices, and the present grain rate from Kansas City to the Gulf is 30% cents, it is a bit difficult to make wheat owners the advisability of shipping abroad—and incidentally using the railroads. With a lower rate it is quite possible that wheat owners will sell abroad in preference to running the gamble of holding or feeding the surplus. And hence the reason for the railroads offering lower freight rates to the seaboard. It is better for them to get 19 cents—if they cannot get 30%—than nothing at all. The farmer still has to see the time when a corporate industry unreservedly holds its arms to him.
It won't be long now until you can call the roll of the senior class on the application files of almost any big business concern.

Nicotine From Excessive Cigarets Thought to Hinder Normal Lactation
Washington—Large doses of iodine suppressed the secretion of milk in the cut and the cow and, in one case, in the human mother, investigations carried out by Dr. Robert A. Hatcher and Hilda Crotty of the Corell University Medical College have revealed. The experiments were undertaken to discover any effects on either mother or child when the nursing mother smoked.

It is little known concerning the excretion of nicotine in the milk of lactating women who smoke. Our attention was directed to the problem by the occurrence of symptoms in an infant which were thought to be due possibly to nicotine in the milk of the mother who smoked many cigarettes.
Our Contemporaries
THIS NEW RELIGION
Contrary to the opinions of some who think that organized religion is doomed to failure because of the deceived nature of Christianity, Dr. Harry Emerson Fookid says that it shows "this age is greatly convalescent in age, not with cre皎 conventionality."
Religion will profit by this universal tendency to specialization which has invaded the classrooms of women are preparing to enter the services of the church with no ideas of preaching. They are also preparing to guide, recreational leadership, and religious journalism which will help them in the religion and religion and build an organized faith.
People are realizing that, the preacher is no longer all-intelligent, but he still behaves, believes, book and drama for enlightenment. It shows that people are being truthful, gritious, and sinister, creating form for religion and worship.
But with these varied duties in the church, the places of the preacher is more important than those of the priest, but as a great leader. There is a change and need of great leadership since the modern era. Political nationalism and social problems are connected with religion.

Smoking mothers have recently come in for considerable contour by members of the clergy and other reformers as well. They have both mother and nursing. As a matter of fact, no very exact scientific knowledge of the subject is available. However, a number of Doctor Hatcher and Miss Crotty. Physicians have not found any effect on the child that could be attributed to smoking. The cigars smoked by the mothers. These experiments bear this out. Kittens who nursed from the cat which were not effected, Dr. Harvey C. Williamson, Dr. Howard S. McCandlish and Dr. Odyen Cobley, all of the children of Cornell University Medical College and consequently men of vast experience with mothers and newborns. It was not unusual to see herbality that they never had observed any diminution in the seclusion or apply of milk, or any effect on a baby. Smokers of cigarettes by mothers.
Tobacco is known to affect different people in different ways. Some are extremely susceptible, while others are partly because pregnancy is a precarious condition calling for every precaution, including taking proper care of mothers to refrain from smoking. This is done largely to protect the mother herself from any possible ill-health.
